Attenuated total reflection and surface plasmon emission light properties of molecular aligned naphthacene thin films

Molecular aligned naphthacene thin films were prepared using rubbing method. The attenuated total reflection (ATR) and surface plasmon (SP) emission light properties were investigated. The long axis of the naphthacene molecule was found to be aligned perpendicular to the rubbing direction. The ATR and SP emission light properties depended on the molecular orientation.
